Materials for Crocketts Bluff Projects

Most pad and grade work here starts below the surface. The angle for this page is fill and sub-base material that raises low ground and carries a building pad above the wet.

Fill dirt does the heavy lifting. It raises a low spot or builds a pad up out of soft ground before any base course goes on top.

SB-2 base comes next. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller and holds a drive, a parking pad or a shed pad.

Engineers and cities write the same material into their standards as Class 7 base.

For a driveway, order SB-2 base or driveway gravel over a compacted fill. For a patio or walkway, screenings bed the pavers and fill the joints.

Water is the other half of the job. #57 limestone goes into French drains and foundation drains as a clean washed stone with no fines to hold water back.

• Fill Dirt for bulk fill and raising low ground.
• SB-2 Base for drives, pads and pipe bedding.
• Screenings for paver and flagstone bedding and joints.
• #57 Limestone for French drains and foundation drainage.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone for drainage beds and drive surfacing.

Ground and Conditions in Crocketts Bluff

Start with the soil, because it decides what the base has to do. Deep alluvial silt loam and heavy clay sit across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, and that clay barely takes water.

Rain stands where it falls. Field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water for days after a big rain.

An under-built base fails fast on ground like this. Water gets into the subgrade, the clay softens, and the stone above it pumps and ruts.

That is why the base depth and the drainage layer matter more here than the surface stone. Get the fill and the SB-2 base right and the drive holds up.

Work runs all year, but wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint. The midsummer dry spell, when the clay shrinks and cracks, is the best window for base work.

Winters are short and mild, and frost is shallow across the Delta. Saturated clay, not frost, is what ruts a drive in winter.

No statewide frost figure is published, and Arkansas jurisdictions set the frost line locally for footings.

Bare cropland silt washes off in sheets, and ditch and bayou banks slough. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and ditch checks where that water moves.
